Mini keyboards in 60% format

60% (mini)

— classic "condensed" layout with ~61/62 keys without a NumPad, no top F1–F12 row, and no separate navigation cluster: everything is activated via the Fn layer, and arrow keys are usually assigned to combinations. Compared to a 65% layout, this format is even more compact, but it often requires getting used to layers; against 75%/80%, you save desk width and achieve a more neutral shoulder position, but you lose the "quick" F-keys. The strengths of the 60% are portability, free space for the mouse and mat, reduced hand movement between the keyboard and mouse, making it popular among FPS gamers, streamers, and those working on a laptop on a narrow desk or during travel. If you need active numeric input or "hot" F-buttons — an external wireless NumPad and a well-thought-out layer layout can help.
